What Are Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are solid crystals that develop when minerals such as calcium, oxalate, or uric acid become highly concentrated in the urine. These stones may remain inside the kidney or travel through the ureter, bladder, and urethra. Small stones often pass naturally, while larger stones may require medical treatment.

Without timely care, kidney stones can lead to urinary obstruction, infection, or kidney damage.

Types of Kidney Stones

The most common types include:

  • Calcium stones
  • Uric acid stones
  • Struvite stones
  • Cystine stones

Identifying the type of stone helps guide treatment and prevention strategies.

Symptoms of Kidney Stones

Symptoms may include:

  • Severe pain in the back, side, or lower abdomen
  • Pain that radiates to the groin
  • Blood in the urine
  • Burning sensation during urination
  • Frequent urge to urinate
  • Difficulty passing urine
  • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Fever and chills if an infection is present

Seek immediate medical attention if severe pain is accompanied by fever, chills, or inability to pass urine.

Causes of Kidney Stones

Kidney stones can develop due to several factors.

Dehydration

Not drinking enough fluids increases the concentration of minerals in the urine.

Dietary Factors

A diet high in salt, animal protein, or oxalate-rich foods may increase the risk in some individuals.

Medical Conditions

  • Recurrent urinary tract infections
  • Hyperparathyroidism
  • Gout
  • Obesity
  • Diabetes
  • Digestive disorders affecting nutrient absorption

Family History

A family history of kidney stones can increase the likelihood of developing them.

Risk Factors

You may be at greater risk if you:

  • Drink insufficient water
  • Have had kidney stones before
  • Consume a high-sodium diet
  • Have obesity
  • Have diabetes or gout
  • Have a family history of kidney stones
  • Have certain metabolic or digestive disorders

Diagnosis

Dr. Sumit Garg performs a detailed evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and determine the most appropriate treatment.

Diagnostic tests may include:

  • Medical history and physical examination
  • Urine analysis
  • Blood tests
  • Ultrasound of the kidneys and urinary tract
  • X-ray or CT scan when clinically indicated
  • Stone analysis after passage or removal
  • Metabolic evaluation for recurrent stone formers

Kidney Stone Treatment in Ghaziabad

Treatment depends on the size, location, and composition of the stone, as well as the severity of symptoms.

Conservative Management

Small stones may pass naturally with:

  • Increased fluid intake
  • Pain-relieving medications
  • Medicines that help relax the urinary tract to facilitate stone passage, when appropriate

Medical Treatment

Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms, preventing infection, and supporting stone passage where possible.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)

Shock wave therapy may be recommended for selected stones to break them into smaller fragments that can pass more easily.

Ureteroscopy (URS)

A thin instrument is inserted through the urinary tract to locate and remove or break the stone using specialized equipment.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)

Large or complex kidney stones may require a minimally invasive procedure in which the stone is removed through a small incision in the back.

Prevention of Recurrence

Patients with recurrent stones may benefit from dietary advice, increased hydration, and treatment of underlying metabolic conditions to reduce the risk of future stones.

  • Relieve severe pain
